Award-winning actress, Nadia Buari has voiced out to join the calls for an end to illegal mining also known as galamsey.
In a post on X, Friday September 27, Nadia Buari bemoaned the "greedy" nature of politicians while emphasising on the underlying factors leading to illegal mining in the country.
According to her, the "ill-acquired wealth" by politicians at the detriment of the citizens has caused "wrong hunger in the citizenry to take their own destinies into their own hands, to undertake activities detrimental to lands, farms, rivers and other important areas of our various countries." "Ignorance, poverty, greed and the desperation to be rich at once and at all cost, seem to be the driving forces behind the pungent act of illegal mining otherwise GALAMSAY, destroying our dear country. "All over the continent, politicians no longer just rob their nations, but also now rob off their ill acquired wealth on the faces of the same masses that put them in power through flaunting this wealth in open acquisition of public properties, and on other matters that really do not matter to the people," she tweeted.
She noted that in the past, blacks accused the white man of destroying their future, nonetheless, the black man of today is actively responsible for destroying their own future.
